## Abstract

Disclosed are a method for transmitting/receiving a signal between a terminal and a base station in a wireless communication system for supporting an unlicensed band, and a device for supporting the same. More particularly, a terminal according to one embodiment of the present disclosure can receive a downlink signal through an unlicensed band on the basis of downlink scheduling information of a received component carrier level, or can transmit an uplink signal through the unlicensed band on the basis of uplink scheduling information of a broadband channel level including a plurality of received component carriers.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A method of transmitting and receiving signals by a user equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system supportive of an unlicensed band, the method comprising:
receiving, from a base station, or uplink scheduling information of one or more wideband channels; and
performing an uplink signal transmission through one or more wideband channels scheduled in the unlicensed band based on the received uplink scheduling information,
wherein the performing the uplink signal transmission by the UE through the one or more wideband channels scheduled in the unlicensed band includes that the UE performs a Channel Access Procedure (CAP) for all Component Carriers (CCs) in the one or more wideband channels scheduled in the unlicensed band and that the UE performs the uplink signal transmission only through one or more wideband channels having succeeded in the CAP for all the included CCs among the scheduled one or more wideband channels,
wherein the uplink scheduling information of the one or more wideband channels comprises a Carrier Indicator Field (CIF), Hybrid Automatic Repeat Quest (HARQ) process information, and Modulation and Coding Scheme (MCS) information shared for all CCs included in a specific wideband channel, and
wherein based on the UE performing an uplink transmission through the specific wideband channel scheduled in the unlicensed band, the UE performs the uplink transmission by applying the same HARQ process information and MCS information per CC included in the specific wideband channel.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The method of claim 1, wherein the unlicensed band corresponds to a 60-GHz band and wherein the wideband channel corresponds to a channel having a 2-GHz bandwidth.

### Claim 3 (depends on 2)

The method of claim 2, wherein the wideband channel corresponds to one channel supported in a WiGig system.

### Claim 4 (depends on 1)

The method of claim 1, wherein based on the UE performing an uplink transmission through the specific wideband channel scheduled in the unlicensed band, uplink resources are allocated in the each of CCs and the same interval presents each of uplink resources.

### Claim 5 (depends on 1)

The method of claim 1, wherein the uplink scheduling information is received through downlink control information (DCI).

### Claim 6 (depends on 1)

The method of claim 1, wherein all CCs included in a specific wideband channel belong to a same timing advance group (TAG).

### Claim 7

A user equipment (UE) configured to communicate with a base station in a wireless communication system supportive of an unlicensed band, the UE comprising:
a receiver;
a transmitter;
a processor connected to the receiver and the transmitter; and
a computer-readable storage medium storing instructions that, based on being executed by the processor, control the UE to perform operations comprising:
receiving, from a base station, uplink scheduling information of one or more wideband channels; and
performing an uplink signal transmission through one or more wideband channels scheduled in the unlicensed band based on the received uplink scheduling information,
wherein the performing the uplink signal transmission through the one or more wideband channels scheduled in the unlicensed band includes performing a Channel Access Procedure (CAP) for all Component Carriers (CCs) in the one or more wideband channels scheduled in the unlicensed band and performing the uplink signal transmission only through one or more wideband channels having succeeded in the CAP for all the included CCs among the scheduled one or more wideband channel,
wherein the uplink scheduling information of the one or more wideband channels comprises a Carrier Indicator Field (CIF), Hybrid Automatic Repeat Quest (HARQ) process information, and Modulation and Coding Scheme (MCS) information shared for all CCs included in a specific wideband channel, and
wherein based on the UE performing an uplink signal transmission through the specific wideband channel scheduled in the unlicensed band, the UE performs the uplink signal transmission by applying the same HARQ process information and MCS information per CC included in the specific wideband channel.

### Claim 8 (depends on 7)

The UE of claim 7, wherein the unlicensed band corresponds to a 60-GHz band and wherein the wideband channel corresponds to a channel having a 2-GHz bandwidth.

### Claim 9 (depends on 8)

The UE of claim 8, wherein the wideband channel corresponds to one channel supported in a WiGig system.

### Claim 10 (depends on 7)

The UE of claim 7, wherein based on that the UE performs an uplink transmission through the specific wideband channel scheduled in the unlicensed band, uplink resources are allocated in the each of CCs and the same interval presents each of uplink resources.

### Claim 11 (depends on 7)

The UE of claim 7, wherein the uplink scheduling information is received through downlink control information (DCI).

### Claim 12 (depends on 7)

The UE of claim 7, wherein all CCs included in a specific wideband channel belong to a same timing advance group (TAG).

### Claim 13

A base station configured to communicate with a user equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system supportive of an unlicensed band, the base station comprising:
a receiver;
a transmitter;
a processor connected to the receiver and the transmitter; and
a computer-readable storage medium storing instructions that, based on being executed by the processor, control the UE to perform operations comprising:
transmitting, to a user equipment (UE), uplink scheduling information of one or more wideband channels, and
performing an uplink signal reception through one or more wideband channels scheduled in the unlicensed band based on the transmitted uplink scheduling information,
wherein the performing the uplink signal reception by the base station through the one or more wideband channels scheduled in the unlicensed band includes performing the uplink signal reception only through one or more wideband channels having succeeded in a CAP of the UE for all included Component Carriers (CCs) among the scheduled one or more wideband channels,
wherein the uplink scheduling information of the one or more wideband channels comprises a Carrier Indicator Field (CIF), Hybrid Automatic Repeat Quest (HARQ) process information, and Modulation and Coding Scheme (MCS) information shared for all CCs included in a specific wideband channel, and
wherein based on the base station performing the uplink signal reception through the specific wideband channel scheduled in the unlicensed band, the base station performs the uplink signal reception to which the same HARQ process information and MCS information are applied per CC included in the specific wideband channel.
